How much memory do you have in your Toshiba Satelite laptop?Windows XP with Service Pack 3 needs a minimum of 1GB but ideally would run better with 2GB.

Windows 7 would need the same but there is no auto-update process to go from XP to 7 as this is not allowed - you would have to do a Custom install of Windows 7 which requires a clean install (i.e. format the hard drive and start from scratch).

If you are running XP with less than 1GB memory, then you need to check what the maximum memory that the laptop can be upgraded to?

The easiest method is to use the Crucial Memory web site System Scanner utility which will detect how much memory is installed and advise how much you can upgrade to according to the options available for the specific make & model of laptop.

If the laptop hasn't been turned on or on-line for a long time then you may be using a lot of resources downloading Microsoft critical updates plus updates for other installed programs like iTunes, QuickTime, Java etc.

Try downloading and installing a copy of the free Advanced System Care 5 utility then running the Deep Care tools which include System Optimisation and clean-up utilities to improve system performance.

Now a days laptop's FAN are automatic , if the laptop is extreme heat or when ever there is work load on your laptop processor like while playing games, or watching movies etc than only your laptop fan moves.

i feel your laptop might be infected with virus ... just scan with updated antivirus.

Did you try defragmentation? If no then do it. You need to defrag your system every 1month atleast and before deleting all your programs did you check your task manager which processes are eating your Ram and making it slow? Check and end those process, Start up programs also slow down your system. Disable some of the start up programs which are not needed while starting up your system. For this open ccleaner and in tools open start up and disable some programs. Advanced SystemCare software and ccleaner are much more enough to take the clutter and tune your system.
Hope these tips help you.

Log into your router and change the channel and see if that helps. Failing that try rebooting the router to factory settings and deleting your connection from the laptop. Then start from scratch again...Hope this helps...Please let me no...

To be honest I would backup all of the data you need on the laptop and reinstall the operating system from scratch before doing anything else - make sure you have the disks for drivers and applications you will need before starting this! If you need more help post a comment.
